How do you stop beating yourself up over past mistakes?

Fallen into a hole recently where I've regretted a couple past decisions I've made. Obviously I've learned things from these instances, but in most of these cases I knew deep down I was making the wrong decision but did it anyway.
It's a little bit tougher when you know you knew better and feel like your life might be drastically different had you done the opposite. I guess it could be drastically worse too. Maybe one of those decisions leads to me getting hit by a car and dying or something idk.

It is an evolutionary mechanism that helps us learn. Make the best decisions you can make with the hand you are now dealt. It is the only control you have right now

Real talk, all you can do over past mistakes is learn from them so you don’t repeat them. Dwelling over what would have been different if you didn’t make them just gives them power over your life.

Some past decisions you never get over you just learn to cope.

If not confess to God.
Stop making decisions based on consequences, and start making decisions based on the type of person you want to be. What would the person you want to be do in this situation.

Blame whitey and move on.

Can’t change it. Do your best going forward so you don’t have to deal with something similar again.
Time helps. And you will have fleeting wtf moments. They get a little more spread out but they never go away as far as I can tell.
Actively do better. It should change you. Change hurts.

You don't and you shouldn't.
Past pain is character building.

There is no such thing as forgiveness, for you or anyone. We are all a collection of every action we’ve ever taken. Work to pull up the average. You can still be the person you want to be, but never forget or forgive yourself...

Always understand that while you reminisce on these things, no one else probably remembers them or cares.
The sun still rises tomorrow and you have another chance to turn your life around or do something different.

Vote Democrat.
You don't have to be accountable for anything, you feel no guilt, and you can blame someone else for these mistakes.
If you still don't feel validated, go destroy something. Then you will be a hero.
You want to be a hero, don't you?

We all do it and then beat ourselves up for doing THAT.
One of the most helpful things I was told by a much older friend was that if something you've said or done in the past makes the current you cringe, that means you've grown as a person. And something you'll do this week, will make the you down the road cringe. It's a journey with not a destination.
I know, sounds like bumper sticker philosophy but it helps me.

In my experience there is only one way, and that is to be born again in the peace and love of Jesus Christ. Ask, and you shall receive. Seek, and you shall find. Knock, and the door shall be opened unto you.
Knock, my friend.
Knock, my friend.

If this is about some chick, man up.
Past is the past, there is no going back, drive on.

I wish we knew
I grew up in a large family in N Louisiana who were all involved in the church (as was I) until high school where I went off the rails a little.
Drinking/Smoking Pot + anything else I could find. whoring around, got arrested a few times. My cousin called me the black Sheep of the family (that shite still hurts).
Now I'm 20 years post college (2 degrees) with a decent professional job, kid, home etc etc and still have regrets and shame from them fun years way back when
